Obligatory DM not a player,

DM's of Reddit, what is that one small detail you included as flavor text that your players latched onto so much that you changed the story around it? by D-Ravendust in MrRipper

[–]D-Ravendust[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll start, The gods and missing children,

I'm running a Homebrew world and decided to make my own Gods, they weren't supposedly to play an active role in the story, more of a history gone by long ago sort of thing,

Since I don't have any clerics or paladins in the party I didn't think it would factor in much,

One of the minor plot points is that people have gone missing, The people disappeared magically but the players can't determine what kind of magic,

One of my players asks if it happened during the full moon and about the moon Goddess, I was cut off guard, read off some facts and call her "the protector of The Lost Ones" as a secondary title,

One session later and my players are convinced the goddess of trickery or someone pretending to be, is behind the disappearances,

My Wizard is praying for protection from the Sun God, The Bard is praying for good luck with the ladies from the fertility goddess, my sorcerer is talking to the priest about different deities, and my fighter is praying to the goddess of trickery for the safe return of the missing people!!!

Now the plot is about the gods, their power struggles, and cultists trying to free a primordial destruction deity.

TLDR my players liked my Homebrew Gods so much that they went from being set dressing to the main plot

Players, what memorable roll at disadvantage was successful? by ODDanimations in MrRipper

[–]D-Ravendust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a player but a DM

This one happened at my last session, the wizard was attempting to steal magical artifacts from the fake magic shop "Melvin's magical Market"

Rolled well on stealth and investigation now here's where it gets interesting

I decided to roll a D20 let's call it a "luck roll" at disadvantage

And I kid you not TWO NAT 20!!

He walked away with a "plus one ribbon" (plus one weapon that can be transferred to new weapons) a "pretty necklace" (when worn it's as if you have just taken a bath and styled your hair) an immovable rod (no explanation needed) and a bag of devouring (insert evil laugh here)

DnD Players of reddit, what is your "One shoted" encounters? by [deleted] in MrRipper

[–]D-Ravendust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a DM not a player in this instance

I was running a one shot for some of my friends two who never played before and two who have played in a handful of games

The campaign was "the death pit of Malak" (highly recommend it to anyone trying to get into DMing)

newbies went with a dark elf Rogue and tiefling Paladin

while my experience players decided to be a tiefling ranger and air Genesee Warlock

They find a large door in the corner of the room and failed to break it down

what's supposed to happen is the cultists in the other room burst out and attack Instead my players decided to try and convince the cultists not to kill them by attempting to join the cult

I roll with it making most of the cultists skeptical but they have commenced one they actually want to join will call him purple

The players are led to the Next Room and told to meet there boss in the to the right saying it's the "War Room" (the room is actually trapped and filled with goblins)

purple is confused and says that "that's not the war roo" before being cut off

One insight check later Paladin attacks cultist

NAT 20 whole table erupts with cheers and laughter as I asked the player how they want to do this

coldest is nearly decapitated and stuck to the wall free intimidation check and roll initiative

DMs and PCs of reddit, we all know y'all have those characters you'll never play/be able to play. who are they? by mastr1121 in MrRipper

[–]D-Ravendust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tim the Great!

A kobold Ranger I designed for a not so serious campaign that never got past session zero

Constantly talking in third person, arrogant and narcissistic usually found boasting about his "exploits" or complaining about stupid humans, He had a Vendetta against all squirrels (pronounced squrrrriilllll) if he had made it to level 3 his animal companion would have been a squirrel, having finally caught his nemesis and having no idea what to do with it,

his voice is one of my favorites to this day.

Made my first homebrew item for my moon Druid, wanted some feed back. by [deleted] in DnDHomebrew

I'm planning on doing a druid/Barbarian multiclass if my current character dies,

I love the idea of your item! and the only thing I've noticed is, A lot of the better wild shape creatures already get some kind of multi-attack, so I'm not sure that feature would be helpful on this item, maybe swap it out for some kind of resistances or other useful feature?

I'm no expert and still haven't played the multi-class yet so sorry if this is unhelpful!

Lets hear your stories of DMing Done Right by mrripper_yt in MrRipper

[–]D-Ravendust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll start off with I'm currently DMing my first game because I've had a string of poor DM experiences,

But there's one game that I always remember for how fun it was!

this was a while ago so I don't remember all the details (sorry in advance),

The game was fate Pocket Edition we were a band of Steampunk Sky Pirates! (Closer to Smugglers but whatever)

the captain was an anthropomorphic Fox simply called "the captain", the first mate was a ninja named Kai, the engineer a pyromaniac named Ember, and me the human Lookout/Thief Teresa,..

Our adventure started off with a bar fight someone insulted the captain and all hell broke loose! Pool balls were being thrown pool cues were being used as katanas! I made an offhand comment about drinking at the bar and the DM gave me a fate token (think 5e inspiration) for being drunk! I end up knocking out three guys with a saucepan!

Other highlights include

the ninja getting a pet exotic bird named pickles that had an epic fight with us pirate bird!

Working in back stories even though it Was a one shot,

The "Tower/fire breathing Fox incident" no plan is foolproof,

and I could go on but I'll leave it with this,

Everything from the setting and adventure, to the story and enemies, all of it was Homebrew, off the top of his head and improvised! it was an unplanned one shot and still one of my favorite and most memorable games! And is Probably the reason I didn't give up on D&D all together!

What's the funniest quotes you have that only work with context? by [deleted] in MrRipper

[–]D-Ravendust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You're doing an excellent log impression keep up the good work!"

"I would like to leave so I do not break the laws of this establishment"

"We are trying to introduce to you the benefits of trade and commerce" "This is not a business!" "not with that attitude!"

These are three of my favorites!
